Why You’ll Love It
Festive, intricate, and beautifully collectible, this 1:12 scale Christmas stocking was designed and hand-stitched by renowned IGMA Artisan Natalia Frank, celebrated for her exceptionally fine miniature needlework. The stocking is worked in meticulous petit point, creating a dense tapestry-like surface filled with tiny pink, red, and green floral sprigs over a soft cream ground. Deep blue stitched accents define the toe (appears to be in the form of a bird), while the top overflows with attached miniature treasures, including a whimsical hand-sculpted Christmas elf and tiny candy canes.
Perfect for
It is perfect for a dollhouse fireplace, Christmas morning scene, child’s bedroom, holiday parlor, or miniature stocking display. It would also make a beautiful addition to a collection of fine petit point, IGMA artisan work, or heirloom Christmas miniatures.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
